Oh this is darling! My granddaughter just got an AG doll and she loves cats. Did you create your own doll pattern?

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

Proud of my local paper!

Wow something I actually qualify for 😂

So cute! Is there a pattern?

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

One attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said ICE officials slated several of her clients for check-ins at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown L.A. but when they showed up on Tuesday, they were detained and immediately escorted to the basement. Mateo said a couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water. Mateo said the father had previously been issued a stay of removal, barring him from deportation but he and his family were detained anyway. His wife was released Wednesday evening along with their children since she needed medical attention due to a high-risk pregnancy. He was still being detained early Friday, Mateo said.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.

Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Our team of CDC'ers and public health supporters, thought this moment was notable, too! We are proud to have you, @drtomfrieden.bsky.social, with us in the fight for public health and CDC. #CDCsaveslives #saveCDC

It’s hardly surprising that the same people who were fine with older Americans dying from Covid have no issues with cutting Medicare.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: "Reality is that hospitals are gonna close, nursing homes are gonna shut down, people are going to die if these Medicaid cuts and their efforts to detonate parts of the ACA are successfully enacted into law."

Thrilled to learn from DOJ's argument that the 14th Amendment applied to the "children of former slaves, not illegal immigrants, who didn't exist as a class yet" that modern firearms are not protected by the Second Amendment!

Social Security Is Affordable and Popular - WORT-FM 89.9 On today’s show, host Allen Ruff speaks with Nancy J. Altman about the status of Social Security under the Trump administration.

99% of Social Security's revenue goes directly to beneficiaries and 99.7% of benefits are paid accurately and on time.

But DOGE is creating the conditions for waste, fraud, and abuse as they cut staff and close field offices across the country.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Jfc what is wrong with you

The Washington Post bragging about Pulitzer winner Ann Telnaes, the political cartoonist who left the Post because it had turned into an anti-journalism partisan rag, is one of the most shameless examples of misplaced self-congratulations in recent memory.

Yesterday, editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary. In January, she resigned from the Washington Post after 17 years following the paper's leadership killing her cartoon below.

Love all of it!

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Omg perfect

Asked on Meet the Press if he is required to "uphold the Constitution," he replies, "I don't know." Perhaps he does not recall taking the oath of office twice and swearing before the American public "to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution."

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

The latest Fed survey shows how companies are responding to higher tariffs, and the top response is that companies are passing cost increases through to consumers.

In last place: "Relocating production or services to the U.S.”

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today:

He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution

He’s fine with a recession

Americans can do with less

Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

The physical embodiment of Greed thinks other people can get by with fewer goods.
